2.13 Working principle of therotary cultivator

The tines of the rotary cultivator are in the„grip“ position. The tines „on grip“ rip up andcrumble the soil. Tines „on grip“ pull therotary cultivator into the soil. Thus, the rotarycultivator, supported by the packer roller,maintains a constant working depth, irre-spective whether the soil has been ploug-hed or not tilled at all.

Good packing of the rotary cultivator andthe packer roller results from three factors:1. net weight of the packer roller

(Fig. 2.8/1).2. net weight of the rotary cultivator

(Fig. 2.8/2).3. the force with which the tines try to

drag themselves into the soil(Fig. 2.8/3).

Tines in the „grip“ position have a separa-tion effect: coarse soil particles are trans-ported further than fine particles. The finesoil is concentrated in the lower region ofthe worked zone while the coarse soil par-ticles remain on the surface (see Fig. 2.19),protecting against panning of the soil.

KG 3-2 b149-04.99

A wall of soil is thrown up in front of the rotarycultivator, which fills in unevennesses.Straw and other organic matterare mulched near the surface.The tines, manufactured from hardenedspring steel, ensure that the soil tillageimplement runs quietly.The long tines allow a large clearanceheight when incorporation straw.

The round tine carriers (Fig. 2.10/1) preventstones from being trapped. he tines arefastened in pockets (Fig. 2.10/2) that areshaped in such a manner that the tines cangive way to stones and other obstacles.

4.3 Beginning operation1. Immediately before using the rotary

cultivator in the field, it is to be loweredusing the tractor‘s hydraulic system untilthe rotary cultivator’s tines are just overthe soil but do not touch it. The tractor’spto shaft is to be brought to the presetspeed. While the tractor commencesdriving, the rotary cultivator is to belowered entirely.

I For tractors with hydraulically orpneumatically switchable ptoshafts, the pto shaft must only beengaged in neutral gear to pre-vent damaging the universal jointshaft.

2. If the cultipacker roller turns withdifficulti during the first use due to,e. g. sticking paint, do not immedia-tely adjust the scraper. Instead, sim-ply pull the roller over firm ground(untilled soil), until the roller turnseasily.

4.4 During operation

F When turning of lifting the rotarycultivator on headlands, it is to belifted so far that the tines of therotary cultivator and the packerroller are just above the soil. If theuniversal joint shaft is only slight-ly angled, the universal joint shaftcan continue to run. If the rotarycultivator runs noisily when it israised, the tractor’s pto shaft is tobe switched off.

F Pay attention to the minimumlength of the tines (see para. 19.6).When working at great depth, thetines are to be replaced beforethey reach the minimum length.

I As the wear of the tines increa-ses, the setting of the rotarycultivator’s working depth is to becorrected (see para. 7.3) and theside plates are to be adapted tothe new working depth (see para.10.2).

F The tines or the rotors can cometo a standstill in stony soil or whena firm obstacle is encountered. Toprevent gear damage, the univer-sal joint shafts lateral to drivingdirection are equipped with anoverload clutch. If the rotors cometo a standstill, observe para. 6.5.

18.3 Changing the folding speed

of the transport foldingframe

The transport folding frame with the rotarycultivator being divided in its centre is brou-ght from transport- into working position bytwo double acting hydraulic rams (Fig. 8.5/1) and vice versa. With the aid of two checkvalves (Fig. 8.5/2), the lifting speed of thehydraulic rams can be adjusted.

Usually, no settings should be done on thecheck valves. A higher lowering speed thanset by the factory may cause damage on theimplement. Should, however, a correctionbecomes necessary, the opening channeland thus the oil supply to the hydraulic ramscan be changed with the aid of an Allen key(Fig. 8.5/3). Before doing this, slacken coun-ter nut (Fig. 8.5/4) and retighten afterwards.

Increase opening channel:Unscrew Allen screw (Fig. 8.5/3)

Decrease opening channel:Screw in Allen key (Fig. 8.5/3).

F The amount of adjustment shouldalways be the same on all fourcheck valves of both hydraulicrams!

F The adjustment should not ex-ceed 1/4 turn. Thereafter, adjust-ments have to be checked!

9.0 Gear boxesBoth halves of the rotary cultivator KG 3-2,divided in its centre are equipped with eachone angular gearbox (Fig. 9.1/2) a. Thesegearboxes are connected with a three-speedshift main gearbox attached to the tractor’suniversal joint shaft.

9.1 Tine rotor speedTo achieve the desired fineness of the seedbed, the tine rotor speed must be adapted todifferent soil conditions. The tine rotor speedcan be adjusted on the three-speed shiftmain gearbox (Fig. 9.1/1). An increase inthe tine rotor speed causes the power re-quirements and the tine wear to rise dispro-portionally. Selecting the correct tine speedreduces the cost of wear and increasesefficiency.

F Never select a tine speed that ishigher than necessary.

9.2 Tractor’spto shaft speed

The tractor’s pto shaft speed should be setto 1000 R.P.M. A speed of 540 R.P.M. forthe tractor’s pto shaft speed causes veryhigh torques on the universal joint shaft .These could cause the friction clutch towear out rapidly.

F The rotary cultivator KG 3-2 shouldonly be used with a tractor ptoshaft speed of 1000 R.P.M.

9.3 Setting the speed onthe three-speed shift maingearbox

Refer to the speed table (Fig. 9.2) for thedesired tine speed (R.P.M.).

The tine rotor speed depends on the shiftlever position on the three-speed shift maingearbox and the selected tractor’s pto shaftspeed.

Always set the tractor’s pto shaft speed to1000 R.P.M

The speed table below the tractor symbol(Fig. 9.2/1) and below the settable tractor’spto shaft speeds 1000 R.P.M. indicates thethree tine speeds which can be set.

For setting the desired tine speed, bring theshift lever (Fig. 9.2/B) on the gearbox intothe necessary shifting position.

!1. Before moving the shift le-ver, disengage the tractor’s ptoshaft, switch off the tractor engi-ne and remove the ignition key!

2. Wait until the full standstillof the rotors!

3. Do not touch the hot gear-box housing or gear parts withyour bare hands!

Wear gloves!

F Before starting work ensure thatthe shift lever has caught proper-ly. (Fig. 9.2/B)!

10.0 Hingedside plates

The side plates (Fig. 10.1/1) ensure that thetilled soil cannot escape laterally or frombetween the toil tillage implement and thepacker roller. The flow of soil is guidedtowards the rear so that it falls directly underthe culti packer roller.

The working depth of the side plates and thespring tension must be adjusted to the soilconditions, so that the limitation of the soilflow from these plates becomes effective.

!Make settings on the side platesonly when the pto shaft is deacti-vated, the engine is switched offand the ignition key has been re-moved!

10.1 Fitting theside plates

Fitting the swivelling arm:Position the pivot arm (Fig. 10.2/2) ) appro-ximately vertically and push it into the hol-der tube until it stops. Lower the pivot armbehind the lock (Fig. 10.2/7) . Pull the tensi-on spring (Fig. 10.2/3) according to para.10.3 and secure by using a counter nut (Fig.10.2/5).

Fitting the side plates:Bolt on the side plates (Fig. 10.2/1) asdescribed in para. 10.2.

10.2 Setting the working depthof the side plates

When the seed bed is prepared after plou-ghing, the side plates (Fig. 10.2/1) are to bebolted in such a way that they move throughthe soil at a maximum depth of 1 to 2 cm.

This setting can also be used for incorpora-tion straw. If, under unfavourable conditi-ons, the side plates push the straw toge-ther, the plates should be set at an angle, e.g. the front higher than the back or all theway up.

10.3 Adapting the spring tensionto the soil conditions

The hinged side plates can move upwardsto avoid obstacles. The side plate’s ownmass and a strong tension spring (Fig. 10.2/3) return the side plate to its working positi-on. The spring has been set at the factoryfor the use on light to medium soils. Thespring tension must be increased on heavysoils and decreased for incorporating straw.The tension can be adjusted using the ten-sioning bolt (Fig. 10.2/4 Before every adju-stment, loosen the counter nut (Fig. 10.2/5)and retighten when finished.

11.0 Tooth packer rollersThe tines of the soil tillage implement breakup and loosen the soil. AMAZONE toothpacker rollers (Fig. 11.1) pack and till thesoil and precisely control the working depthof the rotary cultivator.

Due to the fine seed bed, the seed drill canrun smoothly during the sowing processwhich leads to precise maintenance of thesowing depth for the seed.

For the rotary cultivator KG 3-2 tooth packerrollers are available in two sizes (PW 420and PW 500) .

The AMAZONE tooth packer roller PW 420with a roller diameter of 420 mm is suited forheavy soils.

For combination of rotary cultivator KG 3-2and the sowing rail module AS, we recom-mend the AMAZONE tooth packer rollerPW 500. With its roller diameter of 500 mm,this roller is suited for all kinds of soil and isespecially useful for varying soil types.

!Standing on the culti packer rollerduring operation is prohibited!

11.1 Setting the scrapersLow adjustable scrapers (Fig. 11.3/1), madeof spring steel prevent the roller fromjamming. The scrapers have been set at thefactory for light and medium soils. In case ofvery sticky soils, the scrapers must be setaccording to the soil conditions (close set-ting). However, the „close setting“ is onlynecessary if the soil coating the roller drumis thicker than 2 mm.The position of the scrapers should be ad-justed to offset wear. Heavily worn scrapersmust be replaced.

Resetting the scrapers- Raise the soil tillage implement using

the tractor’s hydraulic system and themlower the entire weight of the culti pak-ker roller onto a block of wood (Fig.11.2/1) placed beneath the middle ofthe roller. The frame of the culti packerroller thus bends as it would duringoperation when the soil tillage imple-ment is supported on the culti packerroller.

- Adjust the position of the scrapers (Fig.11.3/1) so that they touch the rollerdrum and secure in place by tighteningthe previously slackened locking bolts(Fig. 11.3/2). The scrapers (Fig. 11.3/1) should only slightly contact the rollerdrum.

Close setting:- Slacken all of the locking bolts (Fig.

11.3/2) and slide the scrapers (Fig. 11.3/1) towards the rear of the slotted holeuntil they stop.

- Slacken the bolts (Fig. 11.3/3) and,according to the soil conditions, slidethe scraper holders (Fig. 11.3/4) evenlyupwards and retighten.

- Adjust the scrapers (Fig. 11.3/1) so thatthey touch the roller drum and secure inplace by tightening the fixing bolt (Fig.11.3/2). The scrapers (Fig. 11.3/1)should only slightly contact the rollerdrum.

I Attach scrapers with hard metalcoating with a gap of 0.5 mm to-wards the drum and tighten withthe fixing bolts. The scrapers withhard metal coating may not touchthe roller drum to avoid damageof the roller drum.

12.0 Seed bed preparationwith tyre packer-sowing combinations

In conjunction with the AMAZONE rotarycultivator the soil will first be tilled andloosened and afterwards re-compacted bythe tyre packer roller. The rotary cultivator isresting on top of the tyre packer roller andthis way maintains accurately the workingdepth. The re-compaction by the tyre pak-ker this way will even be increased.

KG 3-2 b129-04.99

12 - 2

For re-compacting the soil, automobile ty-res without tubes and without air pressureare slid over the roller drum. Each tyre ispositioned on the drum by two bracing rings(Fig. 12.1/4). The shape of these bracingrings and the flexibility of the tyre results indifferently re-compacted zones in the soil:

Zone 1: Hardly any re-compaction(Fig. 12.1/1),Here the clods are not crushed.This area of soil will be used forcovering the rows of seed. Thecrumbling structure of the soil ismaintained.

Zone 2: -slight re-compaction (Fig. 12.1/2),In this area no seed will beplaced.

Zone 3: high re-compaction (Fig. 12.1/3),In this area the soil is highly re-compacted by the bracing rings(Fig. 12.1/4). The coultersembed the seed into this highlyre-compacted soil (see Fig.12.2). The extremely good soiltexture is responsible for thequick and even germination ofthe seed.

This germination conditions for the seedresult from the ideally structured seed bedand from the high re-compaction in thestrips into which the coulters place the seed.

In the highly re-compacted strips of soil thecoulters of the sowing rail module require ahigh coulter pressure to achieve the desi-red sowing depth. By the high coulter pres-sure, disturbing factors such as stones orclods will hardly impair the sliding of thecoulters. Low placed coulter pivoting pointsadditionally result in the especially smoothrunning of the coulter. This results in anespecially even sowing depth and a corre-spondingly uniform plant development. Thisagain is one of the most important precon-ditions for a targeted guidance of the cropgrowth.

12.1 Levelling barfor the tyre packer roller

The tyre packer roller is equipped with alevelling bar (Fig. 12.3/1). The levelling barin front of the tyre packer roller removesslight, possibly still existing undulations ofthe soil. The loose soil in front of the tyrepacker roller is at the same time pre-com-pacted by the levelling bar. The height ofthe levelling bar should be set in such a waythat the levelling bar is at maximum halfcovered by any rigs of soil.

F Set the levelling bar in such a waythat it always can give way up-wards.

12.1.1 Height adjustmentof the levelling bar

For the height adjustment, briefly lift thelevelling bar on both (Fig. 12.3/2) and insertthe clip pins (Fig. 12.3/3) into the desiredholes above the brackets (Fig. 12.3/4) intoboth adjusting rods (Fig. 12.3/5) and slipover the securing loop.

F Please regularly check whetherthe levelling bar is still in a positi-on to easily move upwards. Other-wise, the bearing (Fig. 12.3/6)should be checked and freed ifnecessary.

12.3 Parking thetyre packer roller

For parking the tyre packer roller after ope-ration, we recommend you to support theroller to avoid damage on tyres and tyrebracing rings.

When in combination with a sowing railmodule, please use for parking the sup-ports for the sowing rail module (Please seesowing rail module instructions).

If the combination consists only of the rotarycultivator and the tyre packer roller it can beparked on the levelling rod. (Fig. 12.5/1).Briefly lift the combination using the tractor’shydraulic system. Briefly lift the levelling rodon the grips of the right hand and left handadjusting rod and loosen the clip pins. Lo-wer the levelling rod and reinsert the clippins (Fig. 12.5/2) into the first hole belowthe mountings (Fig. 12.5/3) and secure.

F Carefully lower the combinationto avoid damage to the levellingrod.

I Before uncoupling the combinati-on from the tractor, the depth con-trol pins (Fig. 12.6/1) should beinserted just above the carryingarms so that the combinationcannot drop backwards.

?When reinserting the depth con-trol pins (Fig. 12.6/1) hold it only insuch a way, that you never getyour hand between the pin andthe carrying arm. After any reinser-ting secure the pin by using a clippin.

The equal tyre spacing on the roller isachieved with plastic spacing rings (Fig.12.9/1). Approximately in the centre of theroller, a round steel ring (Fig. 12.9/2) whichcan be seen from outside, is welded to theroller. For this reason, not all tyres may bepushed to one side of the roller drum forremoval.

- Unbolt the roller end plate (Fig. 12.9/4).In order not to ”edge” the roller endplate, slacken the six hex. bolts M 16(Fig. 12.9/5) one after the other witheach one turn. Remove tyres (Fig. 12.9/6) and spacing rings (Fig. 12.9/1) toge-ther with the defective tyre from theroller drum.

You may replace the defective tyre withbracing tyres and inner ring for a completelyassembled tyre (see table). Or you can re-use the two bracing rings (Fig. 12.9/7) andthe inner ring (Fig. 12.9/8) and order onlyone tyre without bracing rings and withoutinner ring (see para. 12.4.1). The tyre widthdepends on the number of coulters of yourseed drill. Each two coulters work in the re-compacted trace of one tyre. Small rowspacings (10 cm) require narrower tyresthan larger row spacings (12.5 cm).The rollers are equipped wither with newcar tyres 155/70 SR 13 (10 cm) or 165/70SR 13 (12.5 cm). In any case, it is notpermitted to use these tyres on motor vehic-les.

12.4.1 Re-use and fittingused tyre bracing rings

The two bracing rings (Fig. 12.9/7) and theinner ring (Fig. 12.9/8) should be removedfrom the defective tyre simply by cutting itapart.

On an original spare tyre, a 3 to 5 mm widering (Fig. 12.11) was cut off by the factory toenable an easier sliding of the tyre onto theroller drum.

F In case you purchase the tyresfrom a tyre dealer, ensure that thetyres are not elder than 4 yearsand that they have been checkedfor tightness. Cut off a 3 to 5 mmwide inner ring (Fig. 12.11) fromthe tyre.

(This hint, see Fig. 12.12, is fixedto your tyre packer roller.)

Insert both bracing rings (Fig. 12.13/1) andthe inner ring (Fig. 12.13/2) into the tyre.Before fitting, apply a slip additive to thesides of the tyre and warm up the bracingrings (Fig. 12.13/1) in water of a tempera-ture of max. 60o. Heated bracing rings canthen easier be bent and thus better beinserted into the tyres.
